Nashville has become a Southern hot spot, full of history, music, sports, and all other kinds of entertainment. The Tennessee city has made a name for itself as the hub for “honky tonk,” with live music aplenty, various awards shows, and, of course, the Grand Ole Opry, country music’s premiere venue.
With all there is to do in Music City, finding a hotel can be easy — depending on your price range. From no-frills motels to high-end luxury resorts, Nashville has a room for you.
In this article, however, we’re going to look at some of Nashville’s most outrageous hotels. (After this article, read about country music’s most popular artists.)
